    Agreed. A known leader of a neo-Nazi organisation registered a protest. The group have a history of registering events under false pretenses but there’s no excuse for this one. It was obvious.

    Nazi speech is illegal.

    It should be.

    But fascists know their worldview is revolting to the public and parts of it are illegal to plainly say. That’s why they use pseudo-runes and sonnenrads instead of swastikas, talk about removing instead of exterminating, and protest around secondary positions like ‘mass immigration’ to spread racial supremacy rhetoric. They’ve been playing this game for a hundred years. Nazi speech is legal if you’re careful about it.

    The problem is what they’re doing, not how they’re doing it, and our law struggles to handle that.

      It is somewhat but it may need to be revised.

      Section 93ZAA of the Crimes Act, which took effect in August, makes it an offence to publicly incite hatred towards another person or group on the grounds of race.

      Spot on with the rest though. These shit heels are specialised at weaselling their foot into doors.
